The Facts:
Stokley's receiving numbers were down in 2005 after a breakout season a year earlier. Look for that to change this season as Indianapolis is expected to make more use of its three-receiver offensive sets in 2006.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The reason for last year's falloff (68 catches down to 41 last season) had nothing to do with Stokley. Rather it was a result of the way opposing defensive teams approached the Colts offense, which meant that more passes went in the direction of the Colts' group of tight ends. ... This is, however, the first report we've seen this offseason hinting at a shift back to more three-receiver sets. It could certainly happen, but we'll take a wait-and-see approach.
